Back to the mansion of the Grand Preceptor, when Madam Su saw Shen Cangning, there was inevitably a fight between them. The mother chased the daughter around a pillar for a while. Shen Cangfeng and Wei Changying tried to calm each of them and they were very exhausted. Finally, Madame Su herself was tired, so she went back to her seat with Wei Changying's help, saying with hatred, "If your third brother and your third sister-in-law hadn't helped you today, I'd have broken your legs!"

Shen Cangning tearfully spoke back, "If you break my legs, we'll see how you'll be able to explain it to the maternal grandmother and my father!" The Old Madam Deng was kind and loved the younger generation very much. Shen Xuan had six sons and two daughters, so fewer daughters than sons. The fewer the things were, the more precious they were so he naturally loved his daughters even more. Especially, as the first daughter was married to Duke Ji, staying with her husband, so it was rare for the father and the daughter to see each other. He inevitably spoiled his younger daughter, Shen Cangning, very much. He even allowed her to come and go in restricted areas like the study as she pleased.

Shen Cangning had helped Shen Cangfeng steal the "Lu Hu" sword and Shen Xuan had forbidden her to go into the study. Even though these things had happened he still loved her as much as he had in the past. Now Shen Cangning was summoning the protection of these two elders to fight against her mother.

"You evil bastard!" Madam Su had been ready to step back but when she heard this, she was so angry that she jumped up to try to beat her again.

Shen Cangfeng quickly pushed his sister behind him and hid her with his body, reprimanding her, "What are you talking about? Apologize to your mother now!"

Shen Cangning pursed her lips and peeked out from behind her brother, saying casually, "Mother, don't be angry. It's my fault!"

Shen Cangfeng tried to ease the situation, "The fourth sister is young and ignorant. Don't argue with her, mother. Today I saw that the maternal grandmother looks much better. Why don't I take the fourth sister out and teach her a lesson, and let Wei Changying talk to you about the maternal grandmother?"

Madam Su knew Shen Cangfeng was changing the subject. Wei Changying also gripped her arm tightly and said, "That's right! The maternal grandmother looks much better today, and also told me a lot of interesting things. I had been thinking about telling you all of them so that they could make you happy?"

Knowing this news was what she had been waiting for all day. Madam Su stared at her daughter, who was hiding behind Shen Cangfeng, pulling her brother's sleeve, and peeking out at her. She said, "Fine. After all, your maternal grandmother is more important. This little evil.... Son, you take her back to the courtyard and don't let her go out for three days!"

Shen Cangfeng immediately covered Shen Cangning's mouth and dragged her out. Madam Su was angry. She raised her hand and didn’t slap it on the table with hatred until her children were out, and scolding, "This unruly thing! Next time none of you should speak for her!"

Wei Changying bit the corner of her mouth to hold back a smile and said respectfully, "Yes!"

Madam Su finally got out of the awkward situation, sighed, told her servants to leave, and asked straightforwardly, "Has the hair clasp been returned?"

"My aunt didn't want it back, but the maternal grandfather went back at lunch and said something, so aunt took it back." Wei Changying said softly.

Madam Su was slightly surprised on hearing this, and she subconsciously straightened her body and asked, "What was it?"

"The maternal grandfather said that he and maternal grandmother have a good eye for people, so their children are doing well." Wei Changying pursed her lips, "At the time, the maternal grandmother was saying that my husband and I live in harmony with each other, praising my grandfather and my father for having a good eye for people. And then the maternal grandfather just went on talking about it."

Madam Su looked uncomfortable for a moment. After a while, she said, "I see. I think that Shen Cangning is very careless, and I was afraid that she would be bullied if she was married to someone else. Your aunt is her third aunt and she is kind, so she will always be a little more forgiving. However, this child is disappointing. Let's leave this matter aside." Although she was optimistic about her nephew Su Yuwu's future and also felt that Wei Zhengyin could be a good mother-in-law, her own father had said that. Obviously, he wasn't in favor of another new marriage between both families. Madam Su might have become a grandmother, but she still didn't dare to disobey her father.

Wei Changying still said politely, "My aunt thinks the fourth sister is very lovely because of her truthfulness. Today my aunt extremely reluctantly took the jade mandarin duck hair clasp back. She said she had watched the fourth sister grow up. She had always loved her and if she could be her daughter-in-law, it would be great."

"Ah, both children are good, but it's a pity that they don't have the luck to be together." Madame Su knew that what Wei Changying had said was just to make her feel less awkward. No matter what it was, the marriage would not happen. She was a little disappointed, but Shen Cangning was only fifteen years old and it was only the beginning of looking for a good husband, so there was no need to rush.

Only then did she ask about the Old Madam Deng's health, "Shen Cangfeng said that your grandmother was doing great now?"

"I have never seen the maternal grandmother before. I can't know if she has recovered from last time, but looking at the maternal grandmother, I think she is really healthy." Wei Changying pursed her lips and smiled, "Today, she also frequently made fun of my husband and me." She looked really shy while talking.

Madam Su smiled and said, "Your maternal grandmother has always loved jokes. But if the children weren't her favorites, she wouldn't make fun of them. She made fun of you because she loves you."

Wei Changying agreed, "Mother, you're right. Though this is the first time I have met the maternal grandmother, I also feel that the maternal grandmother is extremely kind and loves the younger generation."

Madam Su asked a few more questions about her parents' family, and then let her go back, "You must be tired from going out today. It's late, so I won't keep you. Shen Cangfeng must have gone back, so you go back too."

Wei Changying stood up and asked, "Before I was married, I heard that my cousin from my uncle's family had an accident when she was returning to the capital. I think now that a month has passed, I can go and see her some time, so I hope you will allow me to do so, mother!"

Madam Su frowned. Wei Changying thought she was upset because she had only been back from the Su Family but wanted to go out again. She was worried, but then she heard Madam Su sigh and say, "Is that the child from the Song Family? It's a shame. The gold Ruyi jade had to be returned to the Royalty. The most important thing for a girl is her face, isn't it? But she ruined her face. I've never seen her before, but her mother is your aunt, right? When she was young, it was said that she was a famous beauty in the capital, and I guess she was very beautiful, but now...."

She shook her head and said, "You are her lineal cousin. It's right to go and see her, but the rules in your courtyard have just been set up, so you still need to keep an eye on things. It's not a good idea to spend the night out there. At least, you have to come back before curfew after having dinner in the mansion of the Song Family."

Wei Changying was delighted, saying, "Yes! Thank you, mother!"

Because she had Madam Su's permission, she could go to the Song Family mansion to visit Song Zaishui tomorrow, Wei Changying was in a good mood. She went back to the Jintong courtyard, smiling.

When she entered the door, Mrs. He came out to report, saying, "The young master has returned. You are back too, young madam. Is it time to eat now?"

"Let's begin." Wei Changying nodded her head.

After the meal and bath, when they entered the inner room, Shen Cangfeng snuggled up to her as usual. Wei Changying didn't give him a hard time today but tilted, then raised her head, and took the initiative to kiss him on his cheek.

Shen Cangfeng was stunned, one hand over her, the other touching his cheek, he said suspiciously, "Are you some sort of spirit pretending to be my wife?"

"Bah!" Wei Changying heard it and got annoyed. She stepped on him and spat out, "If you don't like it, I'll not touch you in the future!"

"No." Shen Cangfeng apologized and said, "I'm flattered! Flattered!" He leaned down and kissed her again, lingering for a moment. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you so nice to me today? Is it that the third aunt or my mother had said something nice about me to you?"

Of course, Wei Changying wouldn't tell him. She took the initiative today because she was so happy that she could visit her cousin, and also because of what her aunt, Wei Zhengyin, had told her in person. She said Shen Cangfeng especially sent all the beautiful maidservants in the courtyard away in order to marry her. She squinted at her husband and played with his hand, squeaking, "I'm being nice to you but you keep annoying me. It seems that I have to keep ignoring you!"

Shen Cangfeng closed his arms and hugged her tightly, laughing, "You are right. You are nice to me. Let me love you more."

"Ah!" He picked up Wei Changying and brought her under the canopy of the bed.

The next morning, both husband and wife were in a good mood when getting up. Shen Cangfeng himself put makeup on his wife. Wei Changying sat down and let him draw on her eyebrows, seemingly complaining, "You can draw my eyebrows on but you will only end up giving me a red dot on my forehead, which will still take a long time. Granny Huang will have to take it over again. Don't keep me from paying respects to our mother!"

Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "You are beautiful with or without makeup. And besides, it's still early. Even if you are late, you just tell our mother that you are late because of me, and ask her to scold me later."

Mrs. Huang helped, "The young master is totally correct. Although I can mix makeup powder, I am not as good as the young master. The young master has only done a simple makeup for you but you look very perky and pretty. Nothing is better than that. It's no wonder that there is an old saying '…but the beautiful face is tainted by the rouge and powder.' The way I did make up for you in the past covered up your beauty. In the future, I will have to learn from the makeup that the young master has done for you, young madam!"

How could an ordinary person's comment that the wife was pretty be as important as her husband's praise? Following this supreme rule, Mrs. Huang denigrated her own makeup techniques, which had been praised by the Old Madam Song and Madam Song, grinding them into the dust.

Shen Cangfeng put the black makeup down, smiled and touched his wife's cheek, saying, "You heard that?"

"Granny Huang is helping you!" Wei Changying pinched him. Shen Cangfeng grabbed her hand quickly and squeezed it before letting it go. The two of them looked at each other. The loving look made all the maidservants blush and avoid looking at them. The grannies, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Wan, looked so pleased that they were almost overjoyed.

The couple lovingly had the meal. For the first time, Wei Changying personally accompanied Shen Cangfeng to the entrance of the courtyard, talked with him, and saw him off. Then she returned to their room to clean up again and be ready to pay respects to Madam Su.

Mrs. Huang followed her into the room to tidy up her clothes, saying with delight, "Are you and the young master good all of a sudden? I'm relieved to see it. I will be able to mention it to the Old Madam!"

Wei Changying glared at her, "What are you talking about, Granny! I just...Haven't I been treating him this way all the time?"

Mrs. Huang knew she became embarrassed easily, so she stopped teasing her, smiling, "Yes, yes, yes, it is good this way, young madam. In the future, you should always treat him this way!"

"Just leave it. Give me two pearl hair clasps. This morning he drew my eyebrows but he was so clumsy that he took a long time and I went out with only one pearl hair clasp. If I go to visit my mother, it will be a bit too plain. What do you think about this begonia one, Granny?" Wei Changying lifted the corner of her mouth. She pretended not to care about it and changed the subject.

Mrs. Huang smiled more, saying, "Someone said that you are wonderful no matter what you do, young madam. So do I."

"Ah, Granny! What are you talking about!" Wei Changying blushed, put down the pearl hair clasp, and was about to say something. She looked so stubborn that Mrs. Huang couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't the Elder Master say that? I heard from Lu Quan that the Elder Master praised you, saying you are beautiful and you look good in anything you wear. What did you think I was talking about, young madam?"

Only then did Wei Changying realize that she had been teased by Mrs. Huang. She blushed but refused to show it. The mistress and servant danced around it for a while. When Mrs. He came in and reminded them that the time to pay respects was approaching, they put two pearl hair clasps and step shake hair clasps in Wei Changying's hair, checked that there was nothing out of place, and accompanied her to the main branch.
